The Score

TREAD LIGHTLY

Welcome to Salamanca, New Mexico. It’s a fine city to raise a family in. Suburban
sprawl meets sunshine and easy living. But, hiding behind the sunny exterior, there
is a seedy underbelly.
Salamanca is the meth capital of New Mexico, and a new “brand” of meth has
recently hit the streets with a blue tint and a kick like none other. Rumor has it
there’s a ruthless cook behind it who is not afraid to bring everything crumbling
down around them. But rumor also has it that this new cook is just some schlub
who has gotten lucky.
If you’re not already involved in the drug game, you’re going to find yourself pulled
into it. If you’re already in it, you’re going to find rival dealers, hitmen, and DEA
agents at every turn. And there’s one thing everyone wants to know: who is
Ozymandias?
